Produced in La Mancha in Central Spain, true Manchego is made from 100% sheep's milk. Cheeses from Spain are commonly made from sheep's milk because most of the territory is rocky and dry; unfriendly to cows but suitable for raising goats and sheep. The abundance of wild herbs on Central Spain's grazing lands gives Manchego a special taste and aroma. Its flavor is zesty and exuberant, while its texture is firm, but not dry. Manchego can be recognized by the zigzag pattern etched into its rind. This is created by the rippled surface of the press used in the production of the cheese. Underneath the inedible rind, the interior is ivory-colored with few small holes. Taste Manchego for the first time and you will be surprised at how long the wonderful flavor lingers on your palate. It is an experience you will be drawn back to again and again.

Everything I order was amazing. This and the Asiago are some of my favorite cheeses. I purchased as a gift to arrive the day before I arrive to visit my family with a "See you soon" note. Then I arrive the next day and get to taste all the goodies too. A greatful detail to the homeowners for offering their home.

disappointed.

I love Manchego cheese but was disappointed in this one. This one is not as hard or sharp as I would have hoped. It's OK but too soft and creamy texture

Quality cheese...

I haven't tried it but my son did as it was a Xmas gift for him and his wife. They both loved it and were very happy with this and all the other products.

The wedge not the wheel

The picture is deceiving as you get the wedge not the wheel. It was delicious and I do recommend it.

Excellent

is the only way to describe Manchego. With wine and crackers it's a real treat. But grate some over pasta and it's heaven.
